Assistance League is an all volunteer nonprofit organization with no paid staff. It is an efficiently and professionally run organization that has obtained the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Allliance seal. Assistance League operates specific ongoing programs to meet specific needs of children and a adults in the St. Louis area. For example, Operation School Bell provides new school uniform clothing for disadvantaged children in area public schools; Project ROSE provides personal items to abused women in local area shelters; and the Outreach program addresses one-time or short-term needs. Assistance League volunteers have ample opportunity for hands-on service in the operation of the programs and also work hard to raise the necessary operating funds.

Over more than 20 years I have seen the faces of the children receiving new clothing for perhaps the first time in their lives and have talked with other recipients and know that our services are needed and appreciated.

This organization has kept pace with technology and continues to grow each year. I would concentrate on researching new fundraising opportunities to enable the organization to grow the curent programs and perhaps add another one. Assistance League is blessed with talented and dedicated volunteers.

This is the most professional organization I have been envolved in! Our programs meet unmet needs in the St. Louis community. Our programs provide uniforms for kids, shoes for kids, personal items for women in abuse shelters, teddy bears for kids and adults in traumatic situations, activity kits for children and adults in hospital settings and help with unmet, short term needs not covered by our other programs.

The smile on a child's face when they are trying on their new clothes or new shoes...that is the most rewarding feeling in the world!

ASL of StLouis provides school uniforms for almost 3000 inner city every year (almost 40000 since starting in 1990!). We also provide shoes for about 1500 school children, essentials for several women's shelters, teddy bears for children in crisis, activity packages for children in emergency rooms. All this is done with NO PAID PERSONNEL!
I have been volunteering for 60 years and have never worked with people as dedicated, as caring, and as positive as these women!

I can not think of any--as I have said this is the most professional group of women with whom I have had the privilege of working in 60+ years.
